duced from the Seeds then fawn, they 

 commonly periih before they have 

 perfected their Seeds ; whereas thofe 

 which are fown in Autumn do rare-

 one- leaved Empalement (divided inio 

 fcveral Segments, and Jbaped like a 

 Bafon ) art/is the Pointal, which af- 

 terward becomes an almcf globular 

 Fruity in which many Seeds are ga- 

 thered into a fort of little Head, co- 

 vered with the Empalement : to which 

 mufl be added, That there are com- 

 monly [even 'Leaves growing on the 

 Top of the Footjialk.
